Walk in Comfort All Summer with OTZshoes from The Shoe Girls-Giveaway

I love great shoes of all kinds, but because I walk almost everywhere, comfortable, stylish walking shoes are one of my favourite types of footwear. I have a few different pairs of shoes perfect for a stroll through the streets of my small town, but I had never tried OTZshoes before. So when I got the chance to pick a pair of the Italian linen shoes to review, I was excited to see how they compared to the shoes I already own.

OTZshoes feature vibrant, fashion-forward colours, a unique stitched design that results in a minimal use of glue and a removable cork footbed. They are lightweight, have great grip and look very comfortable. The shoes tend to run a little small, so I ordered a 39 instead of my usual 38 to 38½ in the Maui Blue colour and the shoes fit perfectly.

Comfortable and Fashionable Spring and Summer Shoes from Skechers-Giveaway

It’s been a long, cold spring in Saskatchewan but the forecast is finally improving and I am more than ready to ditch my winter gear! And this year, Skechers Canada is making putting away my winter boots even more tempting with a great collection of fashionable footwear for spring and summer that’s as comfortable as it is stylish!

Recently, Skechers gave me the chance to review a pair of GOwalk shoes, a perfect choice for spring, and a pair of sandals just made for summer fun. There were so many cute choices, but I eventually decided on the GOwalk Wavelength shoes in a Size 8 and the Rumblers Tangled sandals in a Black Size 8. The sandals I chose because I wanted a pair of sandals that was both dressy and comfortable and the Rumblers looked like the perfect choice. The GOwalks come in a huge selection of colours ranging from basic black to vibrant neon and frankly, I just couldn’t resist the chance to own a pair of rainbow shoes!

Inspire Your Child and Make a Difference with Chooze Shoes-Giveaway

My youngest son has been a bit of a footwear aficionado every since he was a baby. From the time he first learned how to put on his shoes, he loved picking out his own footwear for whatever outfit he was wearing that day and he had quite a few pairs to choose from. Now, at three, he’s not quite as picky about his footwear as he once was. But he still gets excited every time he gets a new pair of shoes!

chooze shoes scout shred fabricSo when Chooze Canada contacted me and asked if I would be interested in reviewing the company’s innovative footwear, I requested a pair in Benjamin’s size so that he could enjoy a new pair of spring shoes. He couldn’t wait for his Chooze Shoes to arrive and when they finally did, he had them out of the box in no time.

Chooze Shoes are a unique new concept in children’s footwear. The sturdy canvas shoes are made with two different types of coordinating fabric so that each shoe is unique. It’s a way of celebrating the originality of every child and inspiring creativity and choice. But the Chooze Shoes difference doesn’t stop there! At the end of each year, Chooze Shoes invests its profits in anti-poverty programs that provide training, support and education to women to help permanently improve their quality of life.

Work in Comfort and Safety with Footwear from Shoes for Crews-Giveaway

Back in my early twenties, I worked as a waitress in my small-town restaurant. It was lots of fun and I loved the chance to visit and interact with the people in my community, but it was a job that required a lot of walking in a day. My boss understood how important good footwear was, so even though we had a dress code for clothing, we were allowed to wear running shoes or any other footwear that we found comfortable while working.

shoes for crews allure footwearI didn’t mind working in comfy running shoes but I often wished for something a little dressier. If only I had known about Shoes for Crews back then! This innovative company specializes in footwear for the work industry. From cushioned insoles to reinforced heels, these shoes are made to keep feet comfortable all day long. And I loved the patented micro-channel tread pattern of the soles that gives the shoes their amazing grip.

I recently received a pair of shoes from Shoes for Crews to test out and I decided to get a pair that I could use when attending press events or special trips. The Allure Women’s Dress Shoes looked like they would be perfect for that and I liked the fact that they were water resistant so that they were suitable for use both indoors and out. [Read more...]

Older Children Will Run and Play in Comfort with pediped Flex Footwear

This year Benjamin started playschool and he was so excited about it. Finally he got to have all the things his brother had: a backpack, a lunch box and, of course, a special pair of school shoes. So when pediped gave us the chance to review a pair of the new fall pediped Flex runners, I was thrilled.

When Benjamin was just a baby, his very favourite pair of shoes was a cute pair of pediped Originals shoes. He had worn those shoes for as long as he possibly could and so I had high hopes that he would love the pediped Flex shoes he received just as much.
